Bryan ISD Kickstart Kids Students Earn Black Belts from Chuck Norris

Students display ‘martial arts excellence’ in earning honors

Bryan ISD Kickstart Kids students joined students from Navasota in testing for black belts this weekend at Lone Wolf Ranch in Navasota with Kickstart Kids founder Chuck Norris serving as a member of the testing team.

Several students from Navasota ISD also earned black belts at the event. According to Kickstart Kids, the black belt test is a display of martial arts excellence that students have been working on for several years.

Benjamin Mendez, Kickstart Kids Brazos Valley Area Leader, said the meaning of “black belt” means becoming a living example of the core values of Kickstart Kids, including honesty, loyalty, courage, discipline, respect, dedication, kindness and responsibility in addition to physical excellence.
